Masha Sorkin

I am a solution focused individual and couples therapist. I think finding the right therapist is so crucial to the therapeutic process.  I want to ensure that anyone who sees me feels heard, accepted and supported.  I want to empower my clients to feel confident and stronger and to live the best possible quality of life while achieving their goals.

I love the idea that there is a space that belongs to just you where you can say anything without a filter and know that someone can listen without judgement.  I had such a great experience personally in therapy during the transition between college and adulthood and I wanted to ensure that other people could get that same support. 

Shop around!  A bad experience in therapy could be a turn off to the point where you may not try again.  It’s so important to find someone you feel comfortable with and can feel vulnerable around.

I am supportive but honest.  I try to help my clients recognize their strengths and also hold them accountable in a kind way for things they would like to improve in their lives.  

Through couples therapy, couples can learn new ways of communicating around challenging topics as well as trying new things to enhance their relationship.  I believe in creating realistic and measurable goals for couples so that they can see themselves progressing.  The most successful couples therapy is one where both couples feel like they are on the same team.  

In couples counseling, I have a very structured approach to help set the tone for couples to get on the same page.  I make sure each person feels heard and that everyone is working together.  

I think remote care works so well for clients who have busy lives and don’t want to add running to another appointment as a new stressor.  Remote care is accessible and comfortable in your own element.
